At any given time over the past two years, as wars raged in
Libya and then Syria, and as other conflicts ground on in South Asia and sub-Saharan
Africa, a number of journalists have been held captive by a diverse array of forces,
from militants and rebels to criminals and paramilitaries. And at any given
time, a small handful of these cases--sometimes one or two, sometimes
more--have been purposely kept out of the news media. That is true today.

Karachi, May 8,
2011--Pakistan's
decision tonight to not allow foreign broadcasters to continue to do live
transmissions from Abbottabad must be rescinded immediately, the Committee to
Protect Journalists said today from Karachi.

"It is
reckless for Pakistan to interfere with the flow of information from the site
of what is one of the world's most important news stories. Falling back on
regulatory controls to stifle the flow of news is short sighted and does a disservice
to the entire world. The government must back away from this decision
immediately," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. Dietz had
been part of a CPJ team in Pakistan for meetings earlier this week with
President Asif Ali Zardari and Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
